The Odyssey

This dramatic adaptation of Homer's myth begins with a modern young woman who is struggling to understand Robert Fitzgerald's translation of The Odyssey. A classical muse appears, and the young woman becomes the goddess Athena -- a tireless advocate for Odysseus in his struggle to get home. With her trademark irreverent and witty twist on classical works, Zimmerman brings to life the story of Odysseus's ten-year journey, depicting his encounters with iconic characters such as Circe, the Cyclopes, Poseidon, Calypso, the Sirens, and others.
